I, V, Gotham Legend

He remembered that one of the main reasons why V didn't want to live with him in the freezing laboratory was because he was afraid of bugs.

"It's too troublesome, let me do it." Mr. Freeze walked slowly towards Lucius.

"Wait, if you pull him out, the cage will open!" Valerie shouted in panic.

NO15. This is the only trick you have, right?

Mr. Freeze didn't care about all this. He walked straight towards Lucius and lifted the black CEO off the pillar.

The floor tiles under Lucius' feet bounced back, and the glass cage filled with insects next to him also received the signal and moved up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Insects and small arthropods seemed to be liberated and crawled out of the cracks impatiently.

Valerie was frightened to death, and so was Lucius.

But Mr. Freeze remained calm. He immediately used the freezing gun in his left hand to pour water at the glass cage that had not yet been fully raised.

The water flow froze the flying insects and pillars together, like a crystal tree.

Victor's armor emitted a layer of white steam, and he turned back to look at Valerie: "This should be easy for you."

At this moment, in Valerie's eyes, Victor was like a Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering, and the white mist floating on his body was called auspicious clouds.

"I'm just waiting for you. You...you can't always rely on me for everything..." Valerie was so scared by the bugs that she didn't dare to get close, but she felt it was embarrassing to tell the truth.

"It seems that even you are afraid of something." Victor remembered Valerie's panicked tone very clearly, and he ruthlessly sabotaged her.

"You should learn some emotional intelligence." Valerie puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

Mr. Freeze didn't say anything else. He picked up Lucius like a sack and led the way back - the medical department was in another direction.

"Mr. Fries, I can walk by myself." Lucius felt that this posture was a little awkward.

"Don't try any more tricks." Mr. Freeze rejected Lucius' proposal.

Valerie looked at the crystal tree with lingering fear, then looked at Victor who was walking away steadily, and followed him with her little feet clacking.

Although it has been simplified a lot, the armor is still very heavy. Victor walked very slowly. He didn't walk far carrying Lucius before he turned back to look at Valerie who was following behind him.

"V, what are you doing?" Mr. Freeze frowned. He felt that with V's speed, he should have left him behind long ago.

"I'm trying to protect you." Valerie said righteously, "Also, you got the wrong person. My name is Shiva."

Mr. Freeze felt puzzled, but he was almost used to Valerie's strange behavior, so he didn't say anything.

The fundamental purpose of Valerie letting Mr. Freeze walk in front is simple. If Batman hides bugs in any wall again, she can hide behind Victor.

Anyway, she didn't want to experience the cockroach's face again.

The two of them walked silently through the corridor they had walked through before, and all the staff on the way hid themselves faithfully.

Until the end of the corridor, where the temperature was obviously an order of magnitude lower, Victor stretched out his trembling hand and excitedly pressed the cold door.

The freezing laboratory was pushed open, and the black metal incubator where Sleeping Beauty was locked was right in front of them.

Victor walked into the room as quickly as he could and threw Lucius to the frosty ground.

"Let her out."

"Don't get excited. I told you I'd be happy to do it." Lucius stood up, patted his trouser legs, and walked towards the all-metal incubator.

Valerie walked into the room nervously, her big eyes under her sunglasses looking around suspiciously, trying to stay away from the wall.

Lucius fumbled with the metal shell for a while, then pulled open a small piece, revealing a camera flashing blue light.

The camera scanned Lucius' pupils, and then the safe opened like blooming petals, revealing Sleeping Beauty sealed in ice.

Victor walked up to Nora and touched her face with his right hand through the ice.

"Nora...I'll take you away right away."

Valerie finally came over, raising the freezing gun she had made, spraying liquid on the floor.

A smooth track of ice sheets quickly formed from the door to Nora's ice block.

Valerie rubbed another blade-based tractor with her hands and pulled it in front of Mr. Freeze.

Mr. Freeze nodded, then put his hands on both sides of Nora and lifted her onto the trailer with his fifteen-ton arm strength.

"Do you want me to hold it for you?" Valerie asked.

"No need." After replying, Mr. Freeze silently pulled the trailer.

Valerie curled her lips, then walked in front of Victor with an ice spear in hand. She wanted to build an ice track that would allow them to reach the evacuation location smoothly.

Lucius realized that they didn't need him anymore, so he hid under a desk.

Valerie took Victor out of the laboratory. Since she had made a previous trip and confirmed that there were no insect traps in this corridor, Valerie became bolder.

But before they had taken a few steps, the bright ceiling lights in the corridor were suddenly turned off.

"Power outage?" Valerie was startled by the sudden darkening of the environment.

This corridor had no windows. Looking from afar, only the room at the end had a hint of the starry sky's brightness, while the long and narrow corridor where Valerie and Victor were staying together was swallowed up by darkness.

The atmosphere was very quiet. Apart from the sound of Mr. Freeze's armor operating, there was only the sound of electromagnetic transmission.

Victor tightened his grip on the trailer and moved closer to Nora in the ice. He had already guessed who it was.

The same thing happened to Valerie. Her smart little brain finally came to her senses: "This is a mysterious guy... Batman, right?!"

She blinked and turned on the scanner. The scanning mode had a certain night vision effect. Moreover, she was sure that her scanning ability could find all life.

This was indeed the case. When she shifted her gaze towards the shadow not far away, a progress bar actually appeared in her eyes.

"Right here!" she shouted excitedly, raising her gun in that direction.

But at this moment, Batman also moved. He raised his cloak to cover his eyes, and then a dazzling light came on.

Valerie's eyes, which were still in night vision, were hit directly by the flash bomb, and her whole body shuddered for a moment.

Batman seized the opportunity and immediately pulled out the grappling gun from his pocket, raking it over Valerie's head and shooting it into the wall behind her.

The hook pulled the brick back, as if it was going to hit Valerie on the back of the head.

But Valerie had recovered, and she reached back and caught the brick.

"You came back so quickly... but you're going to jump out now and use this to deal with me?" Valerie held the brick and stared at Batman with her eyes that had adjusted to the darkness.

Batman said nothing, only glanced at the brick in Valerie's hand.

"?"

Valerie also realized something was wrong, and she looked down.

The room was still dark, but at such a close distance, Valerie could see the details of the brick in her hand.

The side he was holding was fine, but the back of the brick was covered with honeycomb-like gaps, which were crawling with dense maggots.

"I'm super!!!"

Valerie reflexively threw the brick in her hand away.

NO16. Do you still have this?

If this brick really hits you on the head, you might not feel anything, but these maggots will probably crawl all over your head.

Valerie was a little angry: "You just keep this disgusting thing in the wall? Have you never considered your employees?"

"I told you, this is specially prepared for you." Batman swung the grappling gun, "You can guess which brick has another one behind it."

Valerie's eyes turned cold: "You don't really think you have me under control, do you?"

It was originally just a double act and some exchange of ideas, but what Batman did was really a bit too much.

Valerie first waved back, signaling Victor to go first, and then she pulled a shotgun at Batman.

Batman immediately backed away, leaning his back against the wall.

Valerie aimed at Batman's head for a moment, but then moved the gun away and shot the wall to his side.

A big hole was punched in the wall, but no bugs or anything came out of it.

As expected, in just a few hours, it was impossible for every wall to be filled with bugs.

Valerie immediately rushed in front of Batman, raised her foot and kicked Batman in the chest.

Batman smashed through the wall behind him and fell into the lab behind.

Then he immediately jumped up and hid under a nearby workbench.

Seeing Valerie follow into the room, Victor also hurried and dragged Nora forward.

As soon as Valerie entered the room, she pulled out her freezing gun and first sealed the hole behind her, then swept the entire room, freezing every wall.

Watching Valerie's actions, Batman finally felt relieved.

As expected.

Batman knows very well that bugs are just bugs and can only cause psychological scares at most. When it comes to a life-and-death battlefield, who would care about this?

The reason why Valerie was frightened before was essentially because she had no intention of really fighting to the death. This incident was more of a "competition" than a "hostility".

Even now, when Valerie was already enraged, she still held the attitude of just teaching Batman a lesson, after all, they had a good relationship.

This was also Batman's plan. He knew very well that Valerie's superpowers were powerful, and just throwing a few bugs at her would be of no use. If he really wanted to defeat her, he had to lure her into a trap set in advance.

Through some tricks, Valerie thought there were still a lot of bugs in the corridor, so she brought Batman into this room and created a sealed space by herself.

Batman pressed the button that had been prepared under the tool table.

The electricity from the corridor outside flowed through the room, causing the walls, sealed under ice, to gleam.

This laboratory is a magnetic resonance laboratory. Batman made some modifications so that it can emit large-scale interfering electromagnetic waves throughout the house and have them persist.

Batman remembered that Valerie used the data cable in her wrist to connect when she used her hacking ability, and he reasonably suspected that the EMP or interference shock was effective on her.

Valerie froze the wall herself, so if she wants to prevent the interference impact, she has to thaw it again and search again.

This would become the cage she prepared for herself.

But Valerie looked around and just sighed: "Do you think I can't see it?"

She had been in scanning mode the whole time, and as soon as she entered the room, her eyes were filled with progress bars.

Valerie pulled out a technical pistol and pointed it at an inconspicuous corner above her head.

The technical pistol is one of the three major weapon types in the game. Its characteristic is energy storage. Through a long period of energy storage, it can even achieve the effect of penetrating walls.

Valerie fired a shot, and the ice covering that corner was blown into pieces along with the building materials underneath, revealing the broken wires inside.

This is the center of the entire room. With this shot, the electric current shaking on the wall came to an abrupt stop, and the large electromagnetic wave died before it could take shape.

Batman was silent for a moment. This was a loss of approximately 70 million US dollars. Although it was not a huge amount of money, the board of directors might talk about it for a long time.

"That's it?" Valerie challenged, her anger having largely subsided.

"..." Batman stood up and took out gel explosives from his belt.

Start Plan B.

As he pressed the button, the floor beneath their feet collapsed and they both fell to the next floor at the same time.

Valerie felt a sense of déjà vu. When she faced the clown not long ago, that guy also chose to blow up the floor.

Valerie stepped on the air, did a double jump and jumped onto the wall, then extended the mantis blade in her right hand and stabbed it into the wall.

Looking back, Batman fell into an empty room with no decorations along with the broken pieces of floor. It looked very large, with only white walls, which looked like they could house a sports car.

Valerie breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this guy was not so crazy as to build a cockroach mansion like the Horror Mansion.

"Aren't you coming down?" Batman looked up at Valerie and asked.

"What else are you planning to do?" Valerie glared at him.

Batman took a few steps back and pressed his left forearm with his right hand.

Valerie felt the wall behind her shaking. She understood what was happening and immediately jumped into the air.
